If a co-worker is abusing you based on one of these characteristics, you must report it to HR or a supervisor. Otherwise, your employer will not be legally responsible. However, if you are abused due to a protected trait by a supervisor, then your employer will most likely be responsible regardless if you report the abuse or not.

Most people think harassment in the workplace is mostly regarding sex. However harassment can be about nearly any personal trait and between anyone at the workplace whether that be supervisor or a client or anyone you meet or have a relationship with at work. Also, the plaintiff in the harassment suit need not be the just target of the alleged harassment. This behavior in the workplace can have an adverse affect on other people as well.
